Even the outdoor furniture is meticulously designed: “The easy chairs have a somewhat industrial structure due to the stainless steel, but the knitted plastic gives them a soft and gentle gesture,” he says.

We went North on 101 and landed in Sebastopol, to the local Starbucks and I was pleasantly surprised with a brood of roosters and chickens, hanging out in the parking lot and adorning all the outdoor furniture! Well of course camera in hand I began taking photos of these colorful creatures! This one rooster just rested on the base of the table, fearless and calm enough for me to snap some photos!
I began working in my sketch book playing with ideas for this fellow. I had a vision of the word "Regal" that just resonated with me based the little guys spirit! So here I was playing with the concept of royalty, which reminded me of the ornate nature of decorative furnishings that I have seen during my decorative arts career. It wasn't until I began the large scale rendering that I knew this scroll work would reflect the nostalgic memories of eating zucchini blossoms with goat cheese when on vacation with my aunt in Rome.
It's fun combining memories together to create a sort of visual memoir.
